The United Kingdom is capable of launching airstrikes on Libya or elsewhere in the world if there is a threat to Britain or its nationals, Prime Minister David Cameron said Monday. The statement comes as Cameron begins a four-day South East Asia tour of talks with leaders covering a variety of topics, including countering Islamic extremism.

"If there is a threat to Britain or to our people on our streets, and we are able to stop it by taking immediate action against that threat, as Prime Minister I will always want to try and take that action. That is the case whether that problem is emanating from Libya, from Syria or anywhere else," The Telegraph quoted Cameron as saying.

Like the U.N. human rights office, Human Rights Watch asserted that the trial was flawed. Among other things, the group said that it appeared that Gadhafi's court-appointed lawyer didn't present a final defense pleading on Gadhafi's behalf.

It called for Libya's Supreme Court to review the cases.

"This trial has been plagued by persistent, credible allegations of fair trial breaches that warrant independent and impartial judicial review," said Joe Stork, deputy Middle East and North Africa director for Human Rights Watch. "The victims of the serious crimes committed during the 2011 uprising deserve justice, but that can only be delivered through fair and transparent proceedings."

Ahmed Gaddaf Al Dam, Colonel Muammar Gaddafi’s cousin and former intelligences top ranked official, strongly condemned the death sentence decided by a Libyan court toward top ranked former Colonel’s aids among them his son Saif Al Islam.

In an exclusive statement to Al Arabiya News, Gaddaf Al Dam, said “This sentence blows up every hope and initiative for a dialogue and for Libya’s stability.” He added that sentences open the door wide wide to the violence.

Saif al-Islam Gaddafi was sentenced to capital punishment in absentia on Tuesday along with several other members of the country’s former government.

The trial, which lasted just two days, was conducted in Tripoli by an unrecognized Islamist government that came to power after forcing the rival government out of the Libyan capital.

A militia group from the town of Zintan is currently holding Saif and it’s unclear if the group will agree to give him up in order for the death sentence to be carried out.
